The company sponsored the athletes for the 2016 games only, but it is already looking to extend some of the relationships built in preparation for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

“We are committed to sustaining our message of acceptance worldwide and are exploring longer term partnership opportunities with the IOC on their Olympic Solidarity initiatives, and with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) on their refugee athlete development programs,” a company spokesperson told TheWrap. “We are also exploring contract renewals for select Team Visa athletes in preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.”

The star of the team has been 18-year-old Syrian refugee and swimmer Yusra Mardini, who featured prominently in Visa’s Olympic commercials. Living and training in Berlin, Germany, Mardini won her heat in the 100m butterfly and said she plans to return to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

The other swimmer on the team was Mardini’s fellow Syrian refugee and swimmer Rami Anis, who now resides and trains in Belgium and has said he hopes to compete with his home country in 2020.

Six members of the refugee team were runners, including South Sudan refugees Rose Lokonyen and Yiech Biel, who competed in the 800m race; James Chiengjiek, who competed in 400m; and Paulo Lokoro and Anjelina Lohalith in the 1500m. All five of the athletes now reside and train in Kenya.

Ethiopia refugee and runner Yonas Kinde now lives in Luxemburg and competed in the marathon in Rio.

Two judokas rounded out the ROT, Yolande Mabika and Popole Misenga, both from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and both of whom now live in Brazil.

The International Olympics Committee is also in discussions with each individual athlete and their trainers to determine their next steps.

7 Most Exciting Non-US Olympics Stories You Didn't See on NBC (Photos)

There's been plenty of criticism over NBC's Olympic coverage, but aside from near-constant commercials and tape delays, many viewers are upset that they're missing out on the action from countries that don't fly the stars and stripes. TheWrap has the best stories from the 2016 Rio Games involving athletes who are't American.

The 100m butterfly swimmer Yusra Mardini stole the heart of the world when she went from Syrian refugee to Olympic athlete, winning her heat in her first games. But her story still wasn't compelling enough to air during primetime on NBC, though she eventually got a segment on "NBC Nightly News."

Egyptian judoka Islam El Shehaby refused to shake the hand of his Israeli opponent Or Sasson, a display of unsportsmanlike behavior so egregious that the crowd roared with boos and the International Olympic committee reprimanded the athlete -- reportedly even sending him home, though the Egyptians deny this.

The men's gymnastics team finals were barely covered in NBC primetime, since the U.S. team ultimately didn't medal. Subsequently, the Ukraine team throwing several competitions and purposely taking last place, which angered fans across social media, was not acknowledged at all. NBC did recount the incident a few days later, during individual finals, however.

While NBC heavily covered diving one night, when U.S. team David Boudia and Steele Johnson won silver, the event became persona non grata again the next night, when no Americans were in contention for a medal. Primetime audiences completely missed out on one of the biggest stories of the day, when an algae outbreak in the diving pool turned the water a mysterious murky green. NBC ultimately caught up on the story days later, when American Abby Johnston was in contention.

With no Americans in contention for medaling in women's rugby, there was no chance that the heartwarming proposal from a venue manager to her Brazilian rugby player girlfriend would have made NBC primetime. But everywhere else, it was a huge, great moment at the games.

Countries who received their first gold medals this year included Puerto Rico, Kosovo, Vietnam, Fiji and Singapore - whose Joseph Schooling beat Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly. Only Schooling got a big moment on NBC primetime, probably because everyone was expecting another Phelps victory.

Brazilian judoka Rafaela Silva won the first gold of the Rio games for the host country, and the win was extra poignant since the athlete had been subjected to so much racist bullying after the 2012 Games that she almost left the sport. More stories like this please, NBC.

From countries winning their first medals to a heartwarming proposal, here are some golden moments from Rio that were passed over during primetime
